The problems you list are highly unlikely due to weight loss at any speed. High Protein diets can cause kidney issues as well as bowel issues, and weight loss can make your blood pressure lower, but it's much more likely you have another health issue going on.

I'd urge you to go see your primary care doctor immediately because what you list here can all be highly dangerous.

If my memory serves me correctly, you just recently posted upset because your doctor wouldn't give you another fill. You said you were told you lost too much weight but you wanted to lose another 18 pounds. Now, this post today. If you believed all these health issues were due to weight loss, why would you be trying to lose more?

Best wishes and get into your primary care doctor immediately.

I just looked back and remembered this thread from you too: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/164823-depressed/#entry1937054

You say: "Been very depressed lately have been having low blood pressure to the point where I'm passing out today it was 70/50 my primary doctor is saying it's because I'm not taking in enough calories! And she said that I'm suffering from anorexia! I have 25 more pounds to go to my goal so I don't see how I have anorexia"

Anorexia is completely different than simply losing weight. Anorexia will cause all the symptoms you describe and can even result in death if left untreated.

I urge you to get into counseling immediately as well as listen to your doctor. You have a very big, very serious problem that you simply can't afford to ignore.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. Did your doctor say it was from losing weight too fast?

I've heard tell of gallbladder problems from losing weight too quickly after bariatric surgery, but that's all.

I believe that electrolyte imbalance can contribute to kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalance and malnourishment are complications from anorexia, so I hope you're in the hospital getting treatment for your kidneys as well as the anorexia. Or at least getting dialysis. That's scary stuff.

Take care.

A common feature of anorexia is that, like you, the patient has a distorted view of how much she ought to weigh. That's one of the things that makes it so hard to treat. I don't know how tall you are, but if your ticker is up to date and your BMI is now 25.5, losing another 25 pounds would put you in the underweight category, and that's dangerous territory.

I'm seeing all specialists for each problem that I'm having they are getting together to figure out what's going on they are even getting my bariatric surgeon involved so they can help me

Barb,

I don't need to say anymore than what our fellow bandsters have said already (great advice). I just want to wish you well and hope that you take care of yourself "healthwise".

Best of luck,

If u don't mind asking how much u weighted and how much u lost in how long. If u lost huge amount in short time u lost the weight in correctly Therefore u will have issues bandsters must loose slow and healthy to stay well.

I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

Actually, if you lose the weight eating healthy and exercising, the speed you lose it is irrelevant. Neither fast nor slow are more healthy than another so long as it's done properly.

Her problem has nothing to do with weight loss speed but rather Anorexia.

200lbs in 14 months...that is a bit fast...thats just about 15 lbs a month...i was told bandsters generally keep it off and have the least amt of health issues if they dont lose more than an average of 10lbs a month. I wish you the best and hope that you are able to get answers for whatever is causing the issues.

If you don't eat healthy, then yes, you can have major health issues due to weight loss. You see this often with Gastric Bypass patients because they don't absorb nutrients efficiently. But if you're healthy the speed you lose is irrelevant.

I've lost almost 190 pounds in about 13 1/2 months. I eat according to my nutritionist guidelines, I walk for exercise, and I am healthier than I've ever been in my adult life.

Speed of weight loss is irrelevant, how healthy you live and lose it is what matters.
